Too bad they don’t blade those washboardy roads, because that’s what turned me back when I was there a few years ago.

I had wanted to experience Steens Mountain, but not at the hassle/expense of replacing all the shocks on my vehicle, not to mention my neck, back, etc.

We actually received 3 replies, headquarters/visitors center, the narrows, the campground near Frenchglen. We had good luck at the first two and didn’t make it to the last.

The mosquitoes are atrocious! We probably would have seen a few more birds had we not been mobbed by those.

Tried to drive down to Frenchglen on the “two hour” self guided tour. Four hours later after 20 miles of washboard gravel road and seeing 10 of the stops, we were at the turn for French’s round barn. We went there and headed back to the Good Sam campground near the narrows.

It appears that no one had a chance to answer this before the OP’s visit, but we will be at Malheur in a week and a half, so we would welcome the information about the best birding spots on the refuge.

Thank you,
